As Europe's largest botanical garden at 7000 sq metres, the "Parc
Phoenix"
is a green and shady oasis of exotic vegetation. A giant greenhouse contains
seven different tropical climates (with a suitably tropical temperature
and humidity level). There's a birdhouse with immensely wise owls, a
petting zoo, an orchid garden, an aquarium and a lake with caimans and
other creatures. There's a terrarium, a kiddie park, an orchid garden
and a pleasing array of fountains. All told, there's 2500 plant species
and the animal life is constantly being augmented.
Naturally, the Parc Phoenix is a great spot for kids; there are often
school groups in the park. It's best to arrange a morning visit if possible
as it's more peaceful. A visit to the Park Phoenix can easily be combined
with a visit to the Asian
Arts Museum (Musée des Arts Asiatiques which is
within the park.
Opening Hours
The Parc Phoenix is open daily from 9.30am to 6.30pm, later
in summer.
Admission
Admission is €2.
